  one day there was an almost professional hunter named Butch . his life long dreams were to become a professional hunter and kill the biggest elephant in the town. he only had to kill one  elephant to become a pro. so one day he took a long journey to the amazon rain forest.....

 

  Buch was having no luck with elephant hunting and it was getting dark outside, so he set up camp. he was just about to sleep when he herd the bushes in the pach next to his "camp site." Buch didnt think much of it at first so he tried to go back to sleep. but then a few seconds later he herd it again. this time he knew something was out there. so he got his gun ready, but he was so tired that even if it was an elephant he knew he couldnt get a good shot. but the "animal" in the bushes kept making noise and kept him awake. butch couldnt stand it any more. he got his gun, and didnt even aim anywhere, justy shot into the bushes. then all of the sudden he herd the ear piercing sound of an elephant in pain. "YES!!!" he thought to him self! this could be the wawrd winning elepthant he needs to become a professional hunter!! but all of a sudden, he looked into the bushes and saw the elephant with an evil look in his eyes, starring right at him.

 

  "O NO!" Butch thought to himself. the elephant never took his eyes off of Butch.  Butch now felt the urge to run, because he knew he was in danger. but as soon as he took one step the elephant let out an evil roar. Buch new he was in trouble, so his first instinct was to just run like crazy to try and escape the rouge elephant.  no matter how hard butch tried to run and try to trick the elephant to stop he just made it madder than ever.  he could feel his heart in his ears. all he tasted was blood, and his legs felt like 100 pounds of lead. his throught burned and he could no londer feel his toes.  Butch tried to turn a sharp corner but that made things so much worse!!!! he looked all around for another was out, but the elephant had him cornerd in one of the jungles small caves. "this is the end!" butch thought to himself, but all of the sudden, butch rememberd he had a spare knife in his back pocket! in an instant, as the elephant was just about to trample him, butch pulled out his spare knife and stabbed the elephant right in the heart, killing it in an instant.

 

   Butch was sooo happy! he finally got his elephant! now he is offically a professional hunter. he got back to his home town with his HUGE elephant, and was sooo excited to show everyone.  when he got back, and turned his elephant in he got the biggest award ever given in that town. he got $1,000 and a trip to Hawaii for two.  butch was so happy, and said nothingcould ruin this day.

The Sioux languages were not originally written languages, so there is no single, official spelling for any given Sioux word. Some Lakota and Dakota bands, tribes, and nations have different standardized orthographies (spelling systems) than others. Some Lakota and Dakota people prefer to use phonetic spelling. Others do not use a standardized orthography at all, but simply spell Sioux words as best they can using the English alphabet. Needless to say, this makes comparing different Sioux language websites rather difficult.

The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe:

The theme of this story in my opinion is that when u have a secret about something bad or illegal that you did, you will never forget about it, you will always have to live with that feeling of guilt and sorrow and it will haunt you for the rest of ur life until you decide to do something about it. in other words: Be truthful or you will regret it and it will come back to haunt you.

Regret by Kate Chopin:

The theme of this story in my opinion is that never hate something you have never tried, always look at the posotives and love everyone, even if  in the begining you dont think that you will like what is set on front of you.  dont hate anything you dont know about. try your hardest and dont give up on anyome or anything. 

The Dark Brown Dog by Stephen Crane:

The theme of the story is that what you went through and lived with when you were younger is probably what you will act and be like when you are older and more in charge. an example is when there was the boy who spotted a strey dog and was nice to it at first but then  all of the sudden got a stick and started beating the dog with it. The boy said that it reminded him of his father who used to beat him also. so in other words the theme could be this; only do what you want to.
